Se desato una discusion en el blog de cincom y rescato un comentario que quiero compartir:
Completo en http://bit.ly/Uu517 ...but I think the context of the quote is being misinterpreted somewhat. My impression from the video wasn't that Bob was misrepresenting Cunningham's meaning, but just that he wasn't explaining it very well. 'What killed Smalltalk is that it was just too easy to make a mess." I think that's absolutely true, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing. The truth is that in Smalltalk it's often easier to do anything, both good and bad. It's rather like saying that the problem with a motorcycle, compared to a bicycle, is that it's just too easy to go too fast and wreck one. With programming languages, as with bikes, if you give a powerful tool to an undisciplined, inexperienced user, they can cause a lot of damage. If the only vehicle you give someone is a one-gear bicycle with street tires and training wheels, it'll be really hard for them to hurt themselves, but they're never going to go very far or very fast, either.
